Trump says Biden 'should respond' to Tara Reade's assault allegations, but suggests the accusation could be false because 'I've been falsely charged numerous times'
President Donald Trump said that fomer Vice President Joe Biden "should respond" to allegations made by a former Senate staffer, Tara Reade, who alleges that Biden pushed her against a wall and sexually assaulted her in 1993.
Tara Reade alleges that she was assaulted in 1993 when she was a staff assistant for then-Senator Biden. Reade alleges that Biden pushed her against the wall, put his hand up her skirt, and digitally penetrated her. She alleges she faced career retaliation when she tried to report his alleged conduct. In 2019, Reade initially accused Biden of touching her neck and shoulders in a way that made her uncomfortable, but she has since expanded her allegation.
"If you look at Brett Kavanaugh there's an outstanding man," Trump said Thursday. "He was falsely charged. What happened with him, was an absolute disgrace to our country."
